TMG Business Incubator
TMG begins with creative ideas with good worldwide market
potential and nurtures them through early and advanced development stages,
positioning them for advanced development or market rollout. The Company's
portfolio projects and companies range from early development to those in
revenue operations.
The Company focuses on these major technology areas:
 | Innovative approaches for
elementary education |
| e-Business Infrastructure Systems |
| Online project management services |
The Company is a leading innovator of privacy
solutions for e-business and e-health. The incubator does not generally
pursue e-commerce (consumer) retail sales markets, preferring instead to focus
on business applications of the Internet and worldwide web. One of the
Company's strengths is in creating solutions for emerging
markets. [Emerging markets are defined as those global product and service
markets where major players have not yet entered.]
Incubator Concept
The Marx Group incubator is guided by the following principles:
| Identify opportunities in emerging markets |
| Focus on opportunities for new combinations of proven
technologies applied to new markets |
| Demonstrate and prototype integrated solutions |
| Conduct limited test marketing |
| Select the best projects for outside investment or
development |
| Spin-out companies for advanced development and market
introduction |
| Find a new home for great ideas that can be properly
positioned only by an industry leader. |
To better focus, we have adopted certain strategic views which
guide our selection of projects:
| Few first-generation e-commerce companies will succeed for
the long-term |
| "Market gimmick" companies offer no long-term
value |
| E-commerce companies cannot survive long-term on
advertising revenues alone |
| E-commerce generally requires brick and mortar distribution
systems |
| E-commerce is a market channel, not a business |
| Only a few consumer products and services are well suited
for web sales |
| Consumer e-commerce growth in the U.S. began
flattening in 2000, and new growth will be in non-U.S. markets |
| The Internet will offer tremendous advantages to
e-businesses as "communications and process tools" -- saving time
and resources |
| Second-generation Internet infrastructure systems and
services are positioned for growth in emerging markets |
| Success in niche markets is more probable than success in
mass markets. |
About TMG Companies
The Marx Group is a privately held veteran-owned small
business with a limited
number of investors. The Company does occasionally solicit private
investment in its
portfolio companies after they have reached advanced development stage. In
our incubator business, we
are creators, not builders, and once our ideas have matured through strategy
verification or technology demonstration and early deployment, we look for a big player to take it
forward.
Companies and creative individuals seeking assistance from The
Marx Group should email us at
postmaster@themarxgroup.com.
We are NOT a Venture Capital firm and do not
seek investment in ventures outside of our portfolio companies.
